Ok, here's the xml

<xml_api_reply version="1">

<weather module_id="0" tab_id="0" mobile_row="0" mobile_zipped="1" row="0" section="0">

<forecast_information>

<city data="Hamilton, ON"></city>

<postal_code data="Hamilton,ON"></postal_code>

<latitude_e6 data=""></latitude_e6>

<longitude_e6 data=""></longitude_e6>

<forecast_date data="2011-11-21"></forecast_date>

<current_date_time data="2011-11-21 13:00:00 +0000"></current_date_time>

<unit_system data="US"></unit_system>

</forecast_information>

<current_conditions>

<condition data="Mostly Cloudy"></condition>

<temp_f data="30"></temp_f>

<temp_c data="-1"></temp_c>

<humidity data="Humidity: 69%"></humidity>

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/mostly_cloudy.gif"></icon>

<wind_condition data="Wind: N at 10 mph"></wind_condition>

</current_conditions>

<forecast_conditions>

<day_of_week data="Mon"></day_of_week>

<low data="28"></low>

<high data="41"></high>

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/sunny.gif"></icon>

<condition data="Clear"></condition>

</forecast_conditions>

<forecast_conditions>

<day_of_week data="Tue"></day_of_week>

<low data="37"></low>

<high data="46"></high>

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/chance_of_rain.gif"></icon>

<condition data="Chance of Rain"></condition>

</forecast_conditions>

<forecast_conditions>

<day_of_week data="Wed"></day_of_week>

<low data="32"></low>

<high data="50"></high>

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/mostly_sunny.gif"></icon>

<condition data="Mostly Sunny"></condition>

</forecast_conditions>

<forecast_conditions>

<day_of_week data="Thu"></day_of_week>

<low data="43"></low>

<high data="50"></high>

<icon data="/ig/images/weather/sunny.gif"></icon>

<condition data="Clear"></condition>

</forecast_conditions>

</weather>

</xml_api_reply>

...and here's my schema

schema: {

// specify the the schema is XML

type: "xml",

// the XML element which represents a single data record

data: "/xml_api_reply/weather/forecast_conditions",

// define the model - the object which will represent a single data record

model: {

fields: {

day_of_week: "day_of_week@data",

high: "low@data",

low: "high@data",

icon: "icon@data",

condition: "condition@data"

}

},

...and the template

<ul id="weather-container">

</ul>

<script id="dashwidget-weather-template" type="text/x-kendo-template">

<li>

<div>#= day_of_week #</div>

<div>#= condition #</div>

<div>High: #= high #</div>

<div>Low: #= low #</div>

</li>

</script>

So I would like it structured like this:

<div>

<div>CURRENT WEATHER</div>

<ul>

#repeater

<li>DAILY WEATHER</li>

#endrepeater

</ul>

</div>

So I am clearly doing it WRONG :) Since I'm only iterating over the weekday bits (so I wouldn't be able to get the current conditions).

How should I be re-working this?
